The 7 Habits for Managers: Essential Skills and Tools

Extensive national research surveys of thousands of employees reveal widespread concern about workplace effectiveness despite significant individual effort and commitment. Survey findings show concerning patterns: less than half of employee time is devoted to organizational priorities; only fourteen percent of employees feel they meaningfully contribute to company success; fewer than half of team members can articulate company objectives.

These challenges transcend industry boundaries, geographic regions, economic sectors, and demographic groups. Organizations universally struggle with employees managing excessive assigned tasks and conflicting priorities. Workforce members cannot clearly identify key organizational goals and consequently cannot deliver excellent results. Individuals and entire departments suffer from inadequate communication channels. Organizational crises prompt reactive decisions rather than strategic, well-considered responses. However, replacing ineffective behaviors with evidence-based approaches benefits all organizational members. The proven 7 Habits framework helps managers improve self-management skills while developing the ability to lead others and unlock team potential. This powerful two-day workshop teaches principles underlying successful business leaders' professional and personal achievement, offering practical applications for contemporary workplace challenges.
